Earn It
In a post titled Civil Frights, Scooter Oi comments on the State’s forcing financial institutions to lend.
I’m trying to figure out when credit became a civil right.
I was taught that credit was something that one acquired after years of hard work, saving money and being financially responsible. When you had accomplished all that to the satisfaction of a bank, they would give you a credit card. If you didn’t screw that up after a while, them might give you a car loan. If you paid that off in good order, you might be able to qualify for a loan for a house…
Getting a loan for something you can’t afford is not a right...
